CRIMES and ACCIDENTS.
UNNATURAL SON.
He Beats and ChOkeS His Mother to
Death.
A Most Revolving Crime Among the
Hills of New Hampshire.
CLAREMoNT. Y. IL. Dec.

CLAREMoNT, n. H., Dec. l3.
Luke o. Crowthers, cigar maker, aged
"a, living in West Claremont, murdered his
mother last night. Crowthers is employed
by F. c. Bailey. He returned from work
about five o'clock that afternoon, it is said
and not finding his mother in and the house
locked, crawled in through the window and
procured his own supper. Later his mother
came home with Mfs. Hardy, from Windsor
VT, who was intending to stay over night.
Today Mrs Hardy disappeared and the Off
GERS traced her towards Windsor.
just what transpred in the house only
Mrs. Hardy and Young Crowthers can tell.
1t is reported that during the evening a dis
pute arose and Mrs. Crowthers struck her
son, who was intoxicated, with small bas-
ket. High words and a squabble ensued
and it is claimed that the old lady was thrown
to the floor and choked by her son, who
thumped her head against the floor several
times.
Mr. Leavitt living opposite, heard groans
and went to the door and saw Mrs Crowthers
with her face covered with blood and groan-
ing. He asked what was the matter and she
replied. .'Oh, my God, Luke has killed me-
Mr.. Leavitt assisted the woman into his
house, where she remained groaning and
in Leavitts house during the evening and
was conscious up to within few moments of
her death, which occurred at 1870 O'Clock.
Before she died she told Leavitt that Luke
came home drunk abused her and had quar-
rel with her. She pleaded with him for
mercy and he threw her on the floor and
gagged her. Leayitt suggested that he should
send for her other son James, a cabinet
maker in West Claremont and she objected
saying James would kill Luke" She told
Leavitt to get an officer and have Luke ar
rested. James heard of the tragedy and
soon came and saw his brother sitting on a
sofa, smoking. On being asked what he
had been doing to his mother Luke replied
Nothing"
Yes you have" said James ''you have
been beating mother and now I'm going to
lick you"
James gave a severe beating to his broth
er, the fight lasting considerable time when
they were interrupted by Mr.. Presby a
neighbor. Then James went across the
street to Leavitts where he broke down at
the sight of his mothers corpse and wept
piteously
The inquest and hearing began at 2 p. NJ,
today before coroner Waite.
The evidence of Bridget Hardy of Wind
sor, VT. was taken. Mrs. Hardy was the
only person at the fracas besides the princi-
pals.
The inquest adjourned until tomorrow
morning. The autopsy will probably be
held tonight.

ON THE SICK LIST.
Powderlys Condition Announced to be
Critical

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 49,
Mr.. Powderly arrived here last night from
Philadelphia, suffering violent attack of
hemorrhage. He was striken with it while
journeying from Providence. His condition
last night was critical.
To-day he is resting easily. He is still
very much enfeebled and nobody except the
physician and family are allowed to see him.
DIR. Allen says that Powderly is tired and
worn out and that the attack is due to con-
slant travelling by land and water, owing to
the great extent of his work lecturing.
The doctor directed Powderly to remain
quiet for few days and thinks with this rest
gained he will soon recover. Powderly suf-
fered considerably hitherto from quincy and
other throat difficulties. His present illness
is the most sudden and severe that he ever
had. For time it was thought he could not
survive. At 6 O'Clock this evening the
physician reports him greatly improved and
has a fair prospect of ultimate recovery.
He is able to sit up an hour or so at time,
and converses with intimate friends.

A BIDDEFoRD FIRM BoYCoTTED.
One OF the Results OF the Protestant
Romanist War
BIDDEFoRp, Dec. l3.

BIDDEFoRD, Dec. 10.
Joseph X. Libby's store, the largest dry
goods establishment in the city, is being boy
cottcd by the catholics of Biadcford. The
feeling arose among the Irish and French
residents when Mr.. Libby took prominent
stand in support of Rev Justin ID. Fulton,
of Brooklyn, who recently lectured here
against Romanism Since then the feeling
has increased to extensive proportions. In
an interview with the Times reporter today,
Mr., Libby acknowledged that the boycott is
being practised but claimed that the increase
of protestant trade since the Fulton sensa-
ton has more then counterbalanccd the fall
ling off of catholic patronage. A great deal
of local interest is manifested in the affair.
